200 Feet Below. Zero Excuses.
Total Visibility.
The Challenge
Zero cell service underground
There is no signal 200 feet below grade. Any reporting tool that requires connectivity is useless in a tunnel heading.
Confined space safety is non-negotiable
Ventilation readings, gas monitoring, rescue plans — underground safety documentation has zero margin for error.
Shift handovers lose critical details
Three shifts a day, 24/7 operations. What the night shift discovered affects what the day shift encounters. Information must transfer perfectly.
Ground conditions change by the meter
Rock quality, water ingress, face stability — conditions can change dramatically in a single advance. Documentation must keep up.
The POD Advantage
Voice Reports Underground
Crews record observations at the face. Reports queue offline and sync automatically when they reach the portal.
Confined Space Safety Tracking
Ventilation readings, atmospheric monitoring, and permit-to-enter logs captured digitally. Nothing gets lost in the mud.
Shift Handover Reports
Outgoing shift creates a digital handover. Incoming shift sees exactly what happened, what to watch for, and where to start.
Advance Rate Dashboard
Track tunnel advance by shift, by heading, by ground class. See production rates and predict breakthrough dates.
Underground-Specific Features
“Underground, you cannot afford to lose a single safety observation. Paper gets wet, muddy, and lost. POD captures everything before the crew even surfaces.”
